What Your Donation Goes to:

For approximately $475 per year, one teenager receives all Lighthouse services including academic support, evening meal, counseling, mentoring, and a variety of structured enrichment/recreational activities. By providing these preventative services, each teen is more likely to stay in school, stay out of the juvenile justice system and become successful young adults.

By comparison, based on the average length of stay, it costs $6,240 per year for a teenager to stay at the youth detention center.

Financial Support allows Lighthouse to continue to provide a welcoming safe harbor facility and qualified staff to help our youth succeed.
